My writings!!

I also from time to time, write.  Sometimes poetry, sometimes spoken word, sometimes short stories.  Here is one that I did in the past.

Objectively

Randomly I come across all sorts as I travel across my course,

but it isn't because of my course of course,

but BECAUSE of my course

that I want to view it all objectively. 

I peer into the eyes of many as the eyes translucent and free

show me

the very flicker of light in their souls

age defiant but not defined as society tries to place a level of normalcy

on things and people without knowing the depth of their being or course travelled. 

Time they will not spend because without end they believe the digital clock

will not tick audibly

but because the clock is digital does not mean that it does not tick,

the seamless mechanism not mechanic

is still counting down the seconds with the same precision

of the hands of old. The hands of old that baked bread from scratch,

and picked herbs to heal sicknesses and we wonder why the

sicknesses of today are not going away

when we declare that the hands today are new

and forget the hands of old as they today

do not honor the hands of old that nurtured them,

they do not honor the God that gave them breadth

and place their faith in materiality, money, music and media. 

I see so clearly as I randomly peer through the eyes of many

I see that any and all thoughts have travelled a course,

a course set by the journey of the vessel in which this sight

that I peer into is housed, losing all objectivity

but instead looking for a repetition of pages,

looking for sameness of sceneries,

for a glimmer of travelled courses

previously encountered. 

As I myself travel over land and sea,

I see objectively that this too is me.
